I certainly do hold the parents responsible for her behavior. That is partly what I meant by the law failing the Store Owner. At some point prior to the incident, the girl and her parents should have been confronted by the authorities for all her actions. I can't believe that this is the only place she got into trouble.

Should all the boys in the car have "been confronted by the authorities for all their actions"?
And if a 13 yr old or a 17 yr old won't obey their parents, what should the "authorities" do about it? Put them in jail?
